Change language for Grammar Check

Hi folks,
How do I change the language for the grammar check? Manchmal schreibe ich auf Deutsch ou en Français and in these cases I would really appreciate the grammar checking.
MS Word (on Windows anyway) will even detect the language being written after about three words or so and switch. Can I get this on the Mac (the behavior, not MS Word)?
Thanks!
Regards / mit Freundlichen Grüßen / Cordialement,
Eric

Hi Tom,
thanks for your reply. I suppose I can use Word & Entourage for mail & that will give me the builtin grammar checking à là windows. I was hoping for a more indigenous solution but this will do fine.
Of course, I could always endeavor to improve my German and French grammar, but that's another story!!!
Kind regards,
Eric

Change Language for Spell Checking in Mail

Hi,
as far as I could see from other articles here and on other sites, there is no easy way to change the language for spell checking in Mail. It's difficult to imagine that this is true, as in this global world switching from one to another language in different mails is (at least for non-US/UK/etc. users) an immanent need.
Thanks for letting me know if I am mistaken.

If what you are asking about is some kind of shortcut to avoid using the Edit menu, you are correct that nothing like that exists for Mail (or other Apple apps). I think if you use something like SpellCatcher you can switch via a single keystroke.
The fastest method I know of is through AppleScript. I personally use "quick and dirty" routines for shifting from French to English and vice versa, both in Mail and Safari. Your typical toggle-switch bare-bones app looks like this:
tell application "Mail"
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Mail"
set frontmost to true
try
click menu item "Show Spelling and Grammar" of menu "Spelling and Grammar" of menu item "Spelling and Grammar" of menu "Edit" of menu bar 1
set fen to window "Spelling and Grammar"
click pop up button 1 of fen
set lemenu to menu 1 of pop up button 1 of fen
if selected of menu item "Français" of lemenu is true then
click menu item "British English" of lemenu
else
click menu item "Français" of lemenu
end if
click button 1 of fen
on error
beep 2
end try
end tell
end tell
end tell
Nothing fancy here! Compile it, keep it handy (in the dock for example), and a single click does the switch for you. You can make endless variations on this, even make it look kind of smart, with dialogs and all that, thus defeating the purpose.
AppleScript support is kind of sketchy so you have to use UI programming.

German as standard-language for spell check

How to set german as standard-language for spell check in safari?

I use Windows, and it is exactly as you said, Sir Hup.
I made the change, in the drop-down list in the dialog box, in my case from 'English' (which I have to assume is US English) to 'Australian English'.
The problem I am encountering is that making that change doesn't stick for the browser as a whole, but only for the input box on the tab, the dialog box was opened on.
How do I get the change to apply for spell checking in the browser as a whole?

Shame to remove Get Info option to change language for individual application!

Its a shame for Apple to remove the Get Info panel option to change language for individual application! For these days I used Leopard, where I had this option, now I bought a brand new mac, for a bunch of money, with Lion, and this option had disappeared. What's that? Apple is working on making more complicated the life of their users?

Thanks for your tip, but languageswitcher not set the language permanently just for the applications started from that application. Very inelegant and windows like way.
I used the terminal to set the defaults for individual application, but that is step back to the age of command line.
I spent with this problem 1 hour instead of 1 minutes. Big step back.

Unable to change language for SAP BW Report Iview

Dear all
We are currently rolling out BW Web Templates can be displayed in both EN and MS languages. The language can be changed via the URL that we display, e.g.
For English Language:
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
For Malay Language :
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=7&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
We have published these templates into Ent. Portal 6 using SAP BW Report Iview, but unfortunately we cannot view the report in the Malay language (SAP-LANGUAGE=7), even though we have inserted the command SAP-LANGUAGE=7 in the SAP BW Report Iview query string. All the reports, although defaulted to SAP-LANGUAGE=7 displays in English. We also tried to set the language settings for the Iview, but there are no language 7 or MS in the Iview. It can only be defaulted to the Portals language, which is English.
Note that the reports can be viewed in the different languages if we using the URL separately outside of Portal, and also within BW Bex Analyzer itself. Only the Portal doesnt allow us to view the reports in MS language.
Can someone help us on this matter? All helps really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi Chris,
That's a bit odd indeed. If I understand your question correctly, you do get the BW reports in the correct language (either English or Malay) using the url's in your post but not when using them within a standard BW report iView?
The language setting for the iView has, unfortunately, nothing to do with the language for the content itself but can you tell me what the requested URL is for both Reports?
The BW Report iView is based on the Application Integration Component that generates the URL based on the paramaters you provide in the BW report iView.The following template is being used: <iView[PORTAl_URL]>?System=<System[url_Encode]>&Report=<Report>&DynamicParameter=<DynamicParameter[url_Encode]>. I could be that the generation of the URL fails due to the 7 (don't know why, just a gut feeling because it's the only thing that's different between those urls). You could try to use create an iView based on the Application Integrator instead (some more control over the URL template) but first you need to check whether the URL generated by the iView is correct.
Cheers!

Changing language for spell cheking

Before doing that, you must select the block of text to which you wish to apply this language.

Pages 5. change languages for different paragraphs?

In Pages '09 I could change the spell check language for different paragraphs by going to the Inspector, then "text" then "more." That appears to be gone now. Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks Rene! That got me thinking that I didn't test spell check with a new document (where I hadn't set the languages before). It looks like Pages 5 detects the language automatically and changes the spell-checker. Check this out:
I pasted the first three paragraphs from wikipedia articles and then mispelled one word in each paragraph. Pages found the misspelled words but did not underline the rest.
Then in the last two paragraphs (which I typed), you can see that "gli" was NOT underlined in the Italian sentence but WAS underlined in the English one. I guess this explains why there's no setting for it. It is automatic now.

Acrobat Reader 11 MUI : Impossible to change Language for Final user.

Hello,
I need to deploy AdbeReader on several PC.
On my enterprise, we have several language (english, french, deutch...)
I have configure MSI package with Adbe Customization Wizard. But on this tool we cannot choose "Set the language to the OS language..." By defaut, I choose English.
I have read on Adobe Reader document that by default, for MUI, we need to put 1 to this reg key :
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\(product)\(version)\Language\UseMUI\
In my case, it's ok.
But, when I install Adobe Reader with my mst file, application stay in english (even if I use a french computer).
And, if I try to change manually the language it does'nt works. Choose at application startup does'nt too. I have never the popup to choose the language.
Someone can help me ?
Many thanks !

Adobe Properties — Enterprise Administration Guide
Language 11 & later SUPPRESSLANGSELECTION MUI installers only. The default of 1 does the following:
Sets the language to the OS language for all users.
Disables the language selection dialog on application startup for any user.
Sets HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\(product)\(version)\Language\UseMUI\bUserMUI to 1
This is particularly useful for multiuser installations where the language selection dialog would normally appear if a different user logs in, Citrix installations, and so on.
A value of 0 results in the language selection dialog appearing at first launch for every newly logged in user of the machine. For Acrobat this property is not applicable. When Acrobat is installed with MUL serial number and LANG_LIST=ALL, the launch language would be the same as OS language unless a language transform is also applied.

Change language for router setup page

Hello Lynksys im using older model and havent gotten around to buying a new wireless router, i was wondering is i do decide to get a newer model will my site be in english. currently i have the site in german and it will not for the love of my life translate to english?( i am in United States should my site be in german when i put in the default IP address?) Could this have been a problem in installment?

Hi! There are actually two ways on how to change the language for your router. It's either thru the setup cd or going thru the link where you can change it. If you're going to use the cd, you will have to run it again and you should be presented with an option to change the language. If you don't have it anymore, you may just go to http://192.168.1.1/language.htm, it should let you change the language. Found that on this link: http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Change-Language-Pack/td-p/3119.

Change language for the Caller ID announcement

How can I change the Caller ID announcement from English to say German ?
I have installed the German text to speech package and that works as expected for messages text to speech so one would think that can be used for the Caller ID announcement as well.
Any thoughts, help ?
Cheers

Hi MC
In the OP43 transaction (Setup group category-setup group Key SPRo ), select the setup group key for which you want the translation to be maintained, select the GOTO in the menu bar - click on the translation and select the Language for which you want to maintain the translation. Maintain your translated text here.
The other way is to Log in in the language you want to maintain the transaltion Go to OP43 and maintain the details.
You will have to maintain them in SPRO and the same will be reflected for the recipes in the respective login language in the master recipe.
If the solution works for you or is helpful, give suitable points.

Change language for Polish

I know how to change language in the document. But always when I open pages I have to do that. I have to start working from change the language from english to polish. I checked my settings and in my system preferences I have polish everywhere. What should I do to change this in pages once and forever?

May you try to ctrl-click the Pages.app icon to get the contextual menu offering the entry "Show Package contents" ?
Open the 'Contents' folder to get :
Open the 'Resources' folder and select every whose name ends with .lproj minus the pl.lproj one.
Move the selected folders to the 'Resources Disabled' one.
Doing that you will force Pages to run in Polish.

Changing Language for BusinessObjects in general

Hello,
I have Swedish installed on my server but I want all the users in the system to use English. I tried to change the preferences in CMC but it still shows in Swedish.
Does anyone of you have any idea how to change the language?
Thanks

Hi,
This can be done by changing Preferred viewing locale from user preferences. This will change the language for info-view links and options.
But if you want to change the language of universe name and universe components (names of dimension, detail, measure, class, subclass etc), then you have to create multilingual universe.
